Wondering

(Rachel Roth x Reader)

AN: Hello! I haven’t written anything in more than 6 months, and I wrote this in one sitting, no revisions we die like men. I hope this doesn’t suck too much??. I want to formally apologize for ghosting out of here, things have been complicated. I really hope you all are well and safe, I missed you.

TW: mentions of blood and injuries, angst

————————————

Her hand graced yours for just a second, the cold tips of her fingers leaving nothing but longing tenderness burning in your skin and warming your cheeks. You turned your head down, hoping the shadows or maybe your hair covered your expression, wondering if she saw.

“Uh thanks, Rae,” you whispered.

“I hope you like it,” she said.

Indigo eyes sought yours, bright and curious, Rachel smiled at you. It didn’t last very long, however, there was something about the way her lips curved, in how gentle lines formed at the corner of her eyes and in how genuine it came and went, that let you know that, no matter what, you were safe in that smile.

You were pretty sure that made your entire face go crimson red, right up to your ears.

“I— I’m sure I will.”

You hugged the book to your chest, trying to calm your racing heart.

It hadn’t always been like this. This girlish shyness rushing through you anytime she got too close, this quiet panic making you stiff and still as she laid her head on your shoulder or cuddled in your lap because you didn’t want to somehow ruin it, whatever it was.

It started a few months ago. You can’t remember who you were fighting. All you know is that it went wrong and you woke up with your right arm feeling like a hundred nails had been hammered through it.

The edges of your vision were blurry but you couldn’t tell if breathing was a problem because of the fall or because of Rachel’s face placed a few centimeters from yours, her hands cupping your cheeks and her hair brushing your skin so gently it almost tickled.

“I can’t afford to lose you too,” she whispered and there was a raw brokenness to her voice that made you shiver.

“You won’t,” you promised; and you swear you felt her nose brushing against yours as she got closer.

She smelled like freshly cut lemon, chamomile tea and vanilla, a strong contrast with the dirt floating around you. There was something cold dripping down the sides of your face, blood, or tears, or both; and muffled screaming in the distance.

“Are you okay?” asked Kori, flying over you.

Rachel shifted back, as if startled.

“Don’t you ever scare us like that again,” you heard Dick saying.

Gar roared in agreement, and you laughed, dazzlingly wondering what Rachel was about to do or say before the others got there.

It changed almost nothing. You still shared books and tv shows and cups of tea, but soft fuzziness traveled down your body when she was close for too long and it didn’t take long before you started to wonder what her chapstick tasted like.

Having thoughts like that made guilt boil down your stomach. It was obvious Rachel felt free and safe around you, it felt as if somehow, you were betraying her trust. You were supposed to be just friends. And you were okay with it, having her around was enough.

Rachel only had to whisper your name to get you to stop at the corner. Feet glued to the floor, you turned around slightly, to let her know you were listening and to hide your flushed state.

“Are you—“ her voice trembled and every nerve in your body rose up in alert, wondering if she knew. “Fuck...”

You felt yourself stiffening. She was an emphat after all, what made you think you could hide your feelings for her?

“Are you scared of me?”

Of course, Rachel had boundaries, you remembered. Your shoulders fell in disbelief, turning around you made sure your eyes met Rachel’s so she could see the confusion filling you.

“What?”

“Well, you’ve been avoiding me for the longest time and I just thought...” Her tone made your stomach twist.

You walked up to her, stopping to hold one of her hands between yours, the book under your arm.

“Rae, as powerful as you are, I know you. And I know you would never use that power to hurt others.”

Rachel’s eyes shone with unshed tears. “Then why?”

She looked lost and hurt and something inside you fell to its knees in regret. You let go of her hand.

“Because I’m in love with you and I didn’t want to ruin us,” you whisper, squeezing your eyes shut and fearing the worse. “I’m sorry.”

It never came. Instead, there were Rachel hands cupping your face with care and her thumbs rubbing small circles on your skin as she pleaded for you to look at her.

“You could never ruin us,” she said leaning in.

You were surrounded by the smell of her shampoo and found your hands slipping around her waist, holding her as close as your nervous heart allowed.

“Can I kiss you?” Her breath caressed your lips with the question, and you felt yourself melting into her touch, noses brushing together.

No more wonders racing through your mind, you nodded.

Going down the wide, pattered steps Adi felt like a princess in one of those movies Anani had made her watch. The deep blue dress was long enough so that she didn’t have to worry about her feet staying on the ground in her joy. She looked down at the gold and white room, full of face so familiar and loved she didn’t feel out of place.

Jaime was waiting for her at the end of the stairs, offering an arm and a smile for Adi to take. Music filled the air the moment the fabric of his suit touched her skin, and Adi’s vision went slightly blurry.

In the back of her mind, she wondered if she was dreaming.

“What’s this all about?” Adi asked, bewildered at the sight of a finely decorated cake atop of a dessert table, a single unlit candle resting on the frosting.

“It’s your birthday, remember?” He said, confused at the tears streaming down her face.

“Girl, you’re going to ruin your makeup!” Marisol screamed, lunging forward and tapping Adi’s face with a handkerchief.

“Bu—but, that was days ago,” Adi managed to splutter. “I thought...”

“We know that you don’t like talking about your previous birthdays,” Bart said, holding a half empty bowl of nachos against his red dressing shirt, “so we picked the next best day.”

“Today marks the day you joined the team,” Lucy continued, “the day we met you.”

“Guys, I—“ Adi stood there, wanting to be able to grow arms long enough to hug all of her friends at once. She looked around the room and saw them smiling at her, and she didn’t need them to speak or explain to know what the look on their faces meant.

It wasn’t pity or pain, it was love that was written all over their eyes. And it wasn’t until she hear Jaime’s whisper in her ear that she realized she was not only floating a few feet from the ground, but she was also holding him up with her.

Flustered, she mumbled an apology and descended, being wrapped in a wave of presents and warm wishes as soon as she touched the floor.

Late Birthday Present for @coffee-randomness

Tagging: @melyaliz @thespacebuns

A/N I honestly don't know if timeline wise this works for them but luckily this is just a bday present. Lucy belongs to @coffee-randomness

Jason hated hospitals that was no surprise but it wasn't everyday that life was brought into this world when it came to his family. Though the little water twins had, surprise, been born in the middle of the ocean they were all safely back on land along with their mother.

Jason watched through the glass as his sister Annabella held the blonde twin in her arms. His girlfriend Lucy was holding the brunette one keeping her entertained with her fingers standing across her face. Both women were smiling as they talked about the two girls.

He felt Kaldur walk up beside him pausing to stare into the window as well. Neither of them spoke for a while both of them observing the happy scene in front of them. However Jason kept fidgeting with his hands in his pockets.

"Kaldur." He finally spoke.

"Yes?" He asked, turning to face Jason.

Jason took a deep breath, sometimes he hated how formal Kaldur could still be. But he also knew Kaldur would listen.

"How did you know?" Jason asked, his eyes never leaving the window.

"Know what exactly?" Kaldur asked gently.

"How did you know you were ready? How did you know you were ready to marry my sister? To start a family?"

Kaldur stayed quiet as he slowly turned his head to look through the window again.

"I don't think I was ever truly ready for either of those things. However what I did know is that if I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Annabella I was going to do it the right way. As for the family part I definitely was not ready for that especially not the fact that we'd be having twins. But she's my partner and partners work things out together once you realize that I think that's all you really need to know." Kaldur turned to face Jason again and smiled.

"I also think that if you've purchased the ring it means that your ready."

Jason felt his heart plummet as his hand curled around the box in his pocket.

"Is it that obvious?" Kaldur chuckled.

"Getting the ring is the easy part actually proposing is the hardest."

"Got any tips?"

"I'd do it soon because hiding that will be difficult the longer you wait."

"I wonder what they're talking so intently about." Lucy said, glancing at the two men outside. Annabella smiled with a knowing face.

"Hey I have an idea how about once I get out of the hospital we go with the girls to get some mani-pedis?" Annabella suggested glancing at the window and spotting her brother Jason glaring at her.

"Really?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah, it will give Kaldur time to bond with twins and let me take a small break. It'll be fun." Annabella said innocently.

"Okay if you're sure about it."

"Positive." Annabella smiled brightly.

Lucy nodded and looked down at the baby she was holding slowly rocking it to prevent her from waking up and crying.

Annabella glanced at her brother and mouth. You have two weeks get planning.

Long trips and Space stones

Lucy belongs to @coffee-randomness

Happy birthday! despite me being a little late. Also idk when Lucy's birthday is but assume that is when this happens.

Tagging: @melyaliz (anyone else lmk cause i forget)

"Lucy!" Adi called after the girl who was heading off to meet her significant other. Adi tried to run like a normal person but her steps were too light as she unconsciously used her flying ability to catch up now that Lucy had paused and turned to face Adi.

Once she was close enough, Adi spoke "I am so sorry i missed your birthday yesterday, i only just got back from the trip with that Green Lantern named Kyle. He, of course, went to Oa but i did a lot of exploring." She looked a mixture of excitement and guilty to have missed the one day meant to celebrate her friends existence.

Lucy smiled and replied "that's alright, Adi. Did you have a good trip?"

"It was very interesting and i have a souvenir birthday present for you!" Adi said reaching into her pocket to pull out a small package with birthday wrapping paper. Adi handed it over to Lucy watching as she opened it, revealing a necklace made of multiple different colored beads and diamond pendant.

Feeling nervous that Lucy might not like it or actually understand what it was, Adi found herself rambling " the beads are actually rocks from the different planets i visited." Pointing to each one, Adi named off the planets they were from "this one is from mercury, these ones are from earth's moon as well as other planets moons, this one from mars, an astroid from the belt between mars and jupiter, Jupiter's ring, Saturn's ring, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Tamaran, the pendant is from a star and this one which currently is encased in lead glass is some kryptonite." Adi glanced around as if checking the coast was clear before adding "please don't tell superman..."

Adi lowered her and bit her lip wondering what Lucy thought of the necklace. "I mean i know it isn't expensive and probably doesn't look that cool compared to whatever else you might have gotten but i just thought... well it is unique and from space, Marisol always tells me a lot of people are quote sluts for space unquote" Adi’s face flushed slightly as her nerves got away from her.

She fidgeted and seriously thought about fleeing in case Lucy hated it but she had been told by Anani that running away was not nice. Adi glanced at Lucy to see her looking a bit speechless with the necklace in her hand.

Lucy for the arcana prompt?

The High Priestess: lunar, temple, inner voice.

Word count: 549

Warnings: Blasphemy, blood, despictions of murder

Note: This got... a little out of hand, I’m sorry

—————

It had something to do with the laughter. It snuck into her bloodstream and made her ears rumble, a quiet rush of warm air flowing in her nerves.

Lucy lifted her hand almost by instinct and the guy flew up, back crashing onto the concrete wall. An eerie gold light shone in her eyes, and with her teeth clenched, she closed her fist.

With a muffled little sound, like an autumn leaf under her feet, his bones cracked. She watched as his face contorted in pain and the laughter grew higher, church benches and withered flowers shaking and floating up in the air with her power.

“So, what are you gonna do?” The voice screamed. “Kill him?!”

“This is what they did to him,” she thought back, vision blurry. “He deserves it.”

The icy, maddening chuckles filled every corner of her head, leaving her with nothing but blazing rage.

“Go on! You know you don’t have what it takes.”

Lucy knew, the moment she took a dagger in her palms and held it, that it was more than a weapon. The only thing the small knife in her hand was fit for was hurting or killing, the price she had to pay to wear a mantle. And she pocketed it, until she could find out the truth.

And now, that the truth was blasting from the speakers above her, she was floating, hair swirling around and hitting her cheeks and she couldn’t stop herself from tightening her grip, only cries of throe soothing the fire in her chest.

“Holy shit, Lucy!” Jason’s voice was raw, distant, as if he was talking to her through the comms and not standing right behind her.

A flash of her father’s face, eyes wrinkling with a smile and the memory of how the sancocho he cooked for her some winter sundays used to taste, was enough to make Lucy blink, tears cleaning a path down all the dust in her cheeks.

“They took him from me,” she thought, and lifted her dagger over the man’s face.

He begged, like her father did as he pointed a gun to his head all those years ago, and Lucy, just like he did back then, didn’t listen.

She let the flames consume her. Using just her eyes to guide it, she made the dagger sink into the man’s chest. Blood splashing in her face as she pulled it out.

“Joaquin would be so disappointed,” the voice said, still laughing.

“Shut up!” Lucy yelled, glaring at the speaker and immediately making it burst to pieces.

“Fuck,” she heard Jason whisper, awestruck as plastic stared to shower over her.

She stabbed the church guy over and over. Until the fire gave way to the ashes of everything she used to believe in.

Lucy fell back into Jason’s arms, tears flowing freely down her face as the moon covered both her and the bloody mess at her feet in silver streaks. Jesus sculpted face looked down at her with anguish.

None of the things Jason whispered into her hair could do anything against the knot growing in her chest. Pain and rage became a little voice in the back of her head that told her to get used to it.

Bart Allen & Slide

Word count: 154

—————

Bart watches you gently sliding away from him and, for once, it feels like he’s stuck in one spot, standing still. The weight of the feelings that start in his chest and end on the tips of his hands as you let go nailing him down.

“Not so fast when you’re standing over ice now, hmm?” You say, not bothering to hide your amusement when he helplessly clings to your hand, a soft blush coloring his cheeks.

He doesn’t say anything, but his face twists in the most offended expression you’ve seen him make and he pushes back and away from you.

Soon, Bart is a blurry mess of waddling arms and confused faces and when it looks like he’s about to fall for the seventh time, you make a point to slide past him and hold his waist, keeping him in place.

“Totally not crash,” he whispers, defeated.

Regarding donating to bail funds and other organizations, try to take a quick look at their twitter pages etc. to see if they’ve made public statements about donations! Several organizations have received a huge amount in donations and are now suggesting people donate to other organizations that still need it. For instance, Reclaim the Block released this statement that includes other organizations that haven’t received as much. Black Visions Collective also posted that statement on their twitter account:

Brooklyn Community Bail Fund tweeted this (link to statement, where they provide additional orgs to donate to):

Lots of links are going around so it’s a good idea to just quickly check to see which organizations still need assistance!

[coffee-randomness]

This is a really easy way to further help the #BlackLivesMatter movement! Youtuber Zoe Amira made an hour long video and all you have to do is play it on an ad-blocker free browser. All of the revenue generated from the video will be donated to different blm organizations depending on time of need. So if you’re at home and you’re busy with something else, this is really simple to do!
